Titanium Parts Manufacturer, Prototype to Production

Sourcing titanium means finding a shop that holds tight tolerances on a hard-to-cut alloy without turning a prototype into a six-week wait. DEK runs titanium grades 1, 2 and 5 from stock, with Grade 9 and Grade 23 ELI on request.

We work under ISO 9001, ISO 13485 and AS9100D (via TUV) and quote every part against its actual geometry, not a per-kilo rate. A single prototype and a 500-unit run get quoted the same way, then move to production in the same shop.

    Grades 1, 2 and 5 are standard stock; Grade 9 and Grade 23 ELI are available on request.

    • Grade 1: softest, easiest to cut
    • Grade 2: the most commonly machined
    • Grade 5: highest strength-to-weight
    • Grade 23 ELI: medical implants, instruments
    Compare Grades
    Parameter Specification
    Grade 1 Marine, corrosion-resistant parts
    Grade 2 Brackets, fasteners, structures

    Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) Implants, surgical instruments
  • Inspection on Every Titanium Part

    Every part moves through four inspection gates, with SPC monitoring and CAPA follow-up on any deviation.

    • IQC on incoming titanium stock
    • In-process inspection (IPQC)
    • First Article Inspection, then final OQC
    • In-house CMM with full traceability records

Custom Titanium Machining vs. Aluminum Alternatives

Choose titanium for high-load, corrosion-exposed parts. If your assembly has non-critical parts, a lighter, lower-cost aluminum part can take that role.

Criteria This ProcessCustom titanium machining Aluminum extrusion machining
Best for Critical, high-load parts Non-critical parts
Weight High strength-to-weight Lighter metal
Relative cost Higher (tool wear, speed) Lower cost
Choose when Corrosion or high stress Cost and weight lead

Industries Sourcing Titanium Parts

Aerospace, medical device, robotics, semiconductor and energy teams source titanium from DEK where weight, corrosion and stress matter.

Common Titanium Parts and Challenges

If your part looks like one of these, it is a straightforward RFQ quoted against its actual geometry.

  • Structural Brackets

    Structural brackets and mounting plates, often in Grade 2 or Grade 5 for high-load components.

  • Fasteners & Threaded Parts

    Titanium fasteners and threaded hardware, a typical use of general-purpose Grade 2.

  • Medical Device Components

    Housings and instrument components under ISO 13485, with CMM records and traceability.

  • Robotic Joints & Actuators

    Joints, actuator housings and structural links for robotics where weight matters.

  • Valve & Fitting Components

    Titanium valve and fitting components for corrosive or high-stress environments.

  • Semiconductor Tooling

    Tooling parts for semiconductor equipment, machined for corrosion and thermal stability.

Titanium Challenges We Handle

  • Work Hardening

    Grade 5 work-hardens quickly. Validated tooling and cutting parameters prevent the tolerance drift and rapid tool wear that follow.

  • Heat at the Cutting Edge

    Titanium retains heat at the edge. Our process controls, validated with Inconel 718 and 17-4PH, keep tool life and size stable.

  • Springback

    Titanium springs back under tool pressure. Validated parameters hold ±0.005 mm consistently across multi-feature parts.

  • Thin Walls

    Thin-wall features are reviewed case by case during design review; we flag any wall that needs a design tweak before cutting.

Titanium Parts FAQ

Cost, lead time, wall thickness, tolerances and medical documentation for titanium parts.

Is machining titanium expensive?
Cost is driven by tool wear, cutting speed, and how tight your tolerances and geometry are, not the raw alloy alone. With no MOQ, you can machine a single prototype first at true prototype pricing before committing to a production run.
What's the lead time for a custom titanium part?
Prototypes run as fast as 3 days. Production lead times depend on volume, finishing and inspection requirements and are quoted per order; parts ship as fast as 1 day once they clear final inspection.
How thin can a wall be on a titanium part?
It depends on geometry and grade. Titanium's stiffness and tendency to work-harden mean thin walls are reviewed case by case in design review, not quoted against a fixed minimum. We flag any wall that needs a tweak before cutting.
What's the tightest tolerance you can hold on titanium?
±0.003 mm on micro components under 10 mm, ±0.005 mm as our general tolerance, and ±0.01 mm profile control on 5-axis contoured geometry. The tier depends on the feature's size and function, not the part as a whole.
Do you provide documentation for medical-grade titanium parts?
Yes. Titanium parts for medical devices are produced under our ISO 13485 quality system, with CMM inspection records and full traceability documentation supplied with each order.
